Hand-held RFID terminal for UHF tags
MDE IT-800 Series CASIO Europe

CASIO partner microsensys is offering an RFID module for reading and recording UHF transponders which works with the successful MDE IT-800 handheld device. With a range of up to two metres, the compact RFID terminal is perfectly adapted for industrial appli-cations and harsh environments in production, logistics and trade.

There is no chunky reading/writing head with projecting antenna, meaning the ergonomics of this proven handheld device are not compromised. A simple extension module on the back of the device indicates its innovative capabilities. Integrated into the flat, fully sealed module from microsensys GmbH (Erfurt, Germany) are the new iID® contactless read-write electronics with circular polarisation antenna for UHF transponders working in a 860 -960 MHz range. The extension module fits exactly onto the back of the Casio IT-800 and weighs only approx. 42 grams. It does not make the light MDE device any less easy to handle nor compromise its IP54 protection category. The high level of functionality offered by the IT-800, with digital camera, CMOS imager/laser scanner and GPS, is also maintained.
